Blue Cross BLue Shield of Michigan increased their premiums last summer by 30 percent.
They said that health care reform was driving them to increase their reserves.
Specifically the clause stating that they could not deny coverage even to a termanally ill patient.
Well that’s been the plan all along hasn’t it? Pass new laws designed to increase costs and when the companies try to cover the costs attack them for it. Drive them out of business all the while vilifying them.
This is protection and fear pricing and we have Obama to thank for it. But, the gov. will continue to sling mud at the insurance company’s and people paying the higher premiums will believe it. The insurance company’s need to come out swinging. AND we need to be able to buy across state lines. They have got to change that law, it’s ridicules.
